Replace kcalloc() with kzalloc_objs() when allocating the endpoint
address array to keep the size type-safe and match nearby allocations.
Reformat ->busy_urbs allocation to a single line. No functional change.

This case was skipped because mdev->ep_address is "u8 *". This is a
pretty long way to go about allocating "num_endpoints"-many bytes.
Perhaps this should just be:
mdev->ep_address = kzalloc(num_endpoints, GFP_KERNEL);
Though maybe in keeping with all the other num_endpoints allocations,
your patch is fine as-is. I'd be nice to use __counted_by_ptr() here,
but the num_endpoints is in a sub-structure, which isn't supported yet.
